The E3D V5 Bowden All-Metal Hotend Assembly is a hotend designed to be used with Bowden-style extruders, and is the previous iteration of the ever-popular E3D V6 Bowden Hotend Assembly. Although it is an older model, however, the primary differences are that it is just slightly larger and heavier than the V6. It is compatible with 1.75mm filament and offers almost identical features to the latest model, and is still a great choice to use with 3D Printers like our Prusa i3, i3 Mega, as well as the Creality CR-10 models.

One of the main features of this hotend assembly is its ability to handle temperatures of up to 300°C without any modifications, allowing 3D Makers like yourself to print with high-temperature plastics like our Exotic Filament Range – including the Polycarbonate and MetalFill varieties. Another benefit of this assembly is that the thermistor is protected by glass sleeving, allowing it to monitor and control the temperatures with far greater precision than typical hotends.

Our thermistor cartridge is secured by only a single screw, making installation simple and easy to replace and at the same time securing it properly to the heater block.

Pro-Tip: For those of you who are using an all metal hotend and having issues with plastic oozing through the heater-block threads, try heating your hotend up to 270°C and tightening the nozzle with a No. 8 spanner – Just don't get too carried away or you will damage the heatbreak, since it has a very thin 0.3mm stainless steel wall.

Typical Applications for the E3D V5 1.75mm Bowden Hotend Assembly:

Stocked as a spare part for Bowden-style printers like our Prusa i3, i3 Mega and the Creality CR-10, this E3D V5 All-Metal Bowden Hotend Assembly is made to fit a 1.75mm Bowden-style extruder system. It can support a wide range of our 3D Printer Nozzles – ranging from 0.2mm up to 0.8mm, but comes with a 0.4mm nozzle by default.
